Buying New Deep Discount Items from a Friend

If you've been offered items at a very deep discount from what they are normally worth, new items, maybe still in the box, from a friend or an acquaintance or somebody that you just met, I would caution you to be very careful about accepting those items. If it turns out that those items were stolen, you could be charged with receiving stolen property. Again, penalties could range from probation, through jail. So it's important to understand where they're coming from to make sure that they were obtained legally. If the state can prove that you should have known that those items were stolen, you can be found guilty of that. So again, it's important to hire an attorney who is experienced in dealing with these types of offenses and dealing with that prosecutor's office and dealing with those judges in order to get the best possible outcome for you.
